Common water contaminants in Research Triangle

Hardness Minerals
What it is - hard water contains calcium and magnesium minerals which bond with everything they touch leaving "limescale" in their wake.

Treatment – Our guaranteed water softener provides the best option for soft water on the market. It improves the water throughout your entire home while protecting your appliances and fixtures.

Iron

What it is - Iron can come in a couple different forms including dissolved and non-dissolved. Both of which can leave red/orange stains on your sinks, tubs, and toilets and can be extremely hard to remove. Iron can also cause bacteria to grow and let off an unpleasant smell.

Chlorine

What it is - Chlorine is a chemical used by municipal & local water treatment plants to reduce harmful bacteria in the water supply. While this sounds good, chlorine and chloramines can cause a bacteria of their own to grow called trihalomethanes (TTHM) which is quite unsafe to drink or bathe in.

Treatment – The most efficient Chlorine reduction filter is Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) or Catalytic Carbon. Due to the high level of chlorine added to water by cities, you will really appreciate your water with chlorine reduction. See our Whole House Filtration page for more information.

Dirt & Sediment

What it is - dirt & sediment is just as it sounds. This is typically most common in well water or surface water that hasn't gone through a treatment facility.

Treatment – Dirt and sediment are found in almost all water supplies and will decrease the efficiency and lifespan of your appliances. For example, sediment in a water heater can prevent the heat from transferring to the water in the tank once sediment has built up in the bottom. Our whole house filtration system can help with this problem.

Smelly Water (Hydrogen Sulfide or Iron Bacteria)

There are typically two water contaminants that can cause your water to smell like sulfur or rotten eggs, one is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and the other is iron or sulfates.

H2S is a mineral that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.

The most important thing to note is that it is ALWAYS worthwhile to get your water tested as H2S poses a serious potential health risk including nausea, vomiting, and other serious health effects.

PFAS, Lead, & Cyst

Water in our area has frequently been positive for lead, cysts, and PFOA/PFOS. These chemicals have been found to exceed the levels set forth by health advisory organizations and may cause health problems.

The chemicals Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic acid (PFOS) are bio-permanent, resistant to direct oxidation, and do not break down naturally in the environment or the human body. Studies suggest that exposure to these chemicals may lead to cancer.

Chromium 6

A new study by the Environmental Working Group reports that local drinking water contains hexavalent chromium, a toxic metal that has been linked to cancer. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not require the testing for the metal, the survey found that levels in our local water were pushing the levels proposed as a safety limit by authorities. This contaminant has been proven to cause cancer. You can search your zip code to see the amount in your municipal water supply here: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/2016-chromium6-lower-48.php#.WXYljtPyu-l

Other Contaminants

What they are - common contaminants in our area can include nitrates, lead, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, and more. These are not included in the free water test, however, we do offer full laboratory testing at an affordable price.

Treatment – Protecting the water in your home is important, however ensuring the purity of the water you are putting in your body is even more crucial. Our Reverse Osmosis drinking water system will give you a peace of mind that your drinking water is healthy, and you are going to fall in love with this drinking water system that can provide up to 50 gallons per day of delicious water.

If you're intentional about living your best life by being mindful about the foods you eat, the products you use and the water you drink and cook with, you need to have this company come out and test your water. My husband... and I had Ian come out and test ours and we learned SO much about something that we thought was pure and clean. He was factual, not salesy and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this company!read more

It is far too often that the superior work of individuals goes unacknowledged or under appreciated. I certainly don't want that to be the case when it comes to Aqua Solve. Their team of professionals, especially Billy... Land, diagnosed my well water problems, provided a cost-effective means of bringing all of the contaminants within safe levels and installed the proper equipment. I highly recommend them for any of your water problems and also continued maintenance to ensure your system operates as designed.read more

When I have the chance I always choose the small mom and pop shops, because they make you feel important. Aqua Solve did just that. Timely response, very knowledgeable, great price and installed as promised. I sent them a... copy of a county water test and they told me what I had already installed would take care of the problems in my water. Highly recommend them to anyone needing water treatment. It’s nice to find and honest company that does what they say they will do.read more

My wife and I live in Sneads Ferry, NC and always knew the water here wasn’t the best in any way but had no idea of the “acceptable” levels of Chlorine and hardness present that were considered safe to use. . We had a... whole-home system and RO faucet put in last week and let me tell you, from install to the final product Aqua Solve did a phenomenal job and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The water is not only pure, clean and tastes great but we immediately noticed the shower felt good to your skin and no more clogged shower heads and we even had an increase in water pressure. No more spots on your dishes since I learned that is just dried up gunk which made total sense and clothes come out of the washer significantly cleaner and whiter. I would recommend everyone to get this system for your family and pets, they will appreciate it and live healthier lives. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more
